Excerpt:

BACON: Yeah. I had done Diner that was popular with critics, but it wasn’t a breakout hit. So yeah, Footloose was the one. It was life-changing.

LOGGINS: How old were you when you made that?

BACON: I was about 23 or 24. I was afraid that I wasn’t going to be able to pull off playing a 17-year-old, so I asked the production to secretly enroll me in the high school and I went in as a transfer student.

LOGGINS: How long did you do that for?

BACON: Just one day. I spent the day as this character, Ren. I made him from Philadelphia since that’s where I was from. My character in the movie was from Chicago, but I was afraid somebody was going to go, “Oh, I’m from Chicago. Where did you grow up?” Honestly, it was kind of a terrifying day, being this city kid, coming to this rural place and being tossed into this huge high school.
